So I'll admit. I'm pretty addicted to coffee. I can weeks without a beer, but not coffee. I'll sometimes have it after dinner. I must have a tolerance to the caffeine, because I can go right to sleep afterwards. My wife works at home and is worse than I am. We've been together 5 years and had go thru 2 Kuerigs. 1 year ago her son told her about the NINJA COFFEE BAR.
Amazon-Ninja Coffee Bar It's like a regular 19.99 Mr. Coffee but it has a FROTHER. I don't care about that. I like coffee and some french vanilla creamer. If you don't have french vanilla, Italian sweet creme will do. If you have that sawdust powder
, I'll drink it black thank you. No crazy flavors. I may put some Irish whiskey, but no chocolate bull
flavors in the coffee itself.
I like my coffee like I like my tires. Black and Hot. As Denis Leary once said, I would like some coffee flavored coffee.
Anyway, the Ninja has a wakeup timer on it too. Again, like the $19.99 Mr. Coffee. It can make a whole pot, half pot, large travel mug, small travel mug, or coffee cup size. So can the Mr. Coffee if you just put that much water in it. But the NINJA has a stainless steel tank and a water reservoir. So you flip a switch hit a button, and voila. It has has different buttons for classic strength, extra strong, ice coffee. The Mr. Coffee does these if you just adjust the amount of coffee in the basket. So, why in the name of Hillary Clinton's email servers do I not have a $19.99 Mr. Coffee. Because the wife wanted the Ninja. Therefor, *I* wanted the Ninja. I wanted it so badly, that *I* gave it to her on her birthday. Or was it our anniversary. They are on the same day, so it's hard to tell what I gave for which occasion.
Evidently, the NINJA has a flow meter because this morning it won't make coffee, it just beeps. I immediately searched the YOUTUBE and came up with hard water scales up the heating element or it could be the valve in the external plastic reservoir not filling the heated area fast enough. We don't have hard water. Matter of fact I'd put Memphis water out of the tap up against most bottled water. We have the best water I have ever tasted and it comes right out of the tap. Anyway, I finally come to the conclusion there is another valve on tap of the heated tank under the removable plastic tank. I monkey with that and run some hot vinegar thru it. It seems to have recovered its ability to brew. Of course, now I have to run it about 20 times to get the vinegar out of it.
I was about to get the $19.99 Mr. Coffee out of the attic because I have a back up plan, but the wife rolls in the kitchen, looks at the empty coffee pot and says, have you made coffee yet? I say, No, would you run to McD and get some breakfast.
She replied, hell no I aint going anywhere. I haven't had a shower, I don't have makeup on, I am not getting dressed. I said, oh, well the coffee pot is broken and I am trying to fix it. I probably need some more white vinegar to do an actual clean cycle on it. I turn around and she's gone.
She's walking out the door, saying F this, I am going to Starbucks, what do you want from McD! LOL
